Mainframes already run what matters most. Built on decades of engineering and human expertise, they support the systems businesses depend on every day. As technology advances and business needs evolve, the next challenge is to master change while preserving the reliability and trust these platforms have earned.
That is the idea behind Mastering the Mighty Mainframe, the theme of Mighty Mainframe 2027. It brings together the experience of people who understand these systems with the possibilities of AI, intelligent automation and modern engineering practices. Human expertise provides context and judgment; new tools help teams put that knowledge to work in new ways.
Together, they create opportunities to make mainframe systems more adaptable, strengthen security and deliver greater business value. Mastery means making thoughtful decisions about what to change, how to change it and how to ensure those changes lead to outcomes people can trust.
Human expertise. Intelligent automation. Trusted outcomes.
These three ideas will guide the conversation at Mighty Mainframe 2027. Join us on 9–11 May at Pical Resort in Poreč, Croatia, as we explore how to turn them into practice and shape the next chapter of the systems we depend on.
